george w. bush endorses mitt romney in an elevator. will this be a tale of two conventions? >> it's certainly a tale of two presidencies. if you think about it, in the 16 years before barack obama took office, we had two presidents and you ask the question which one is very popular? you showed the 66%. which one had his term end in prosperity, not economic collapse and which one balanced the budget? and the answer is clinton. it's not surprising that democrats pull clinton out and i guess the republicans want president bush to cut some more brush down on his branch -- on his ranch in texas. but i think what's really interesting here is how prominent a role the obama team decided to give bill clinton and i, for one, think this is a very shrewd move politically because bill clinton can reach precisely the voters that barack obama is having some trouble reaching, particularly white working class voters. if romney doesn't have a margin of around 25% in this group, he's in trouble. if obama can only lose by 15%, he's in good shape. bill clinton can reach those voters. the second

remember they try to paint reagan as a doofus, george w. bush, sarah palin, dan quayle. that is one thing they cannot do with governor romney. it wasn't true with everybody else either. but governor romney as someone who is so serious in tone and style and intellect and mission. they can't do that. the other thing that gives me hope. let me just finish. the other thing that encourages me about governor romney if he is the political killer. he is not john mccain, god love him. i respect john mccain so much. he's not bob dole and is not george h.w. bush. i love and respect them all. i voted for all of them. but when they were running, they ran sort of old tired campaigns. they read 20th century campaigns. mccain was incredibly passive. he was afraid to run against barack obama and it showed. they romney does not suffer from not at all. there is a bitter political killer on scene and barack obama. you have to send a political killer to go against any political killer and i'm telling you, governor romney wants this more than life itself. he can taste it. you can taste the pr
